Now David and Debra have gone as far west as you
can go in Europe... in this 110
minute widescreen DVD they walk the beautiful Dingle Way in Kerry to
Dunquin, the last parish before America! In part two they explore
Dublin's historic streets and grand Georgian buildings.

These 2 films are part of a twenty-two episode "Footloose in

Dave
and I walk 55 kilometres in County Kerry, on one of Ireland's prettiest trails.
With advice from local experts Claire and Kevin, we set out from the
village of Camp down fuschia-lined lanes, across a lonely peat bog and reach the
wild coast at Inch Strand, an exquisite location for the classic 70's film 'Ryans
Daughter'.

At Annascaul we meet Eileen at the South Pole Inn, who tells of
ex- landlord and Antartic explorer Tom Crean. Our trail then takes us
past Minard Castle and through the lanes and fields to the delightful fishing and
tourist town of Dingle with almost 40 pubs! Publican John Benny tells of
the colourful life and gaelic music in this pretty and isolated town. We ride out
on a boat to see Fungi the Dolphin before heading out to Ireland's most
westerly point. After crossing Ventry Strand, ancient remains, beehive
huts and wonderful views are to be had as we round the breathtaking coastline to Slea
Head and finally arrive at Dunquin, the tip of the Dingle Peninsula and
the edge of Europe. More on DEBRA'S
DIARY

Part
two ~ DISCOVERING DUBLIN

After
sound advice from Tourism Director Frank McGee, Dave and I begin our
Dublin trail on the banks of the river Liffey. First stop is the No.1
tourist attraction: the Guinness Storehouse where I learn to pull a
perfect pint. Our walk continues, first to historic O'Connell Street
and then Trinity College.

Well-known author and Dublin guide, Pat Liddy tells of his city and its
long history from the Vikings to Independence from British rule. Our
trail takes us next to the castle where we are shown round the
magnificent State Rooms.

Dublin is home to two cathedrals, both have medieval origins, we
continue by them down to busy Grafton Street and St Stephens Green where
a Georgian city starts to unfold. Pat tells us of life in those times.

Our trail ends at Merrion square and the Parliament building, but all is
not over... as a finale we take a ride on a Viking Splash tour,
not on your average tour bus though: we board a 60-year old American
DUKW amphibious vehicle! Lynn the Red is our host as this amazing
machine plunders the streets of Dublin and finally takes a dip in the
Grand Canal Basin!
